[laughter] [laughter] we have our own gavel. we have something more important. we have unity. we do not have a gavel. we do not have the majority. but we have unity. i think that our caucus this morning demonstrated that very clearly. so i come here with my sisters. when i came to congress 25 years ago, there was about 23 members of congress who women out of 435. just think about that. twelve democrats and 11 republicans, something like that. today, we have over 60 house democratic women. [applause] that is very good. it is not enough. we want more. but all of us who were there, we all took responsibility to try to pull more women into congress, in our state delegations and

he's not going to face re-election again. there are now no ramifications for officials in his administration who withheld information, didn't act on information about possible compromises to national security, possible lapses in judgment that led to the killings in pentago in benghazi. it's a cost-free investigation now for the media and their friend in the white house. >> is there any reason to think that this investigation goes back to a desire to remove these men from their positions, and to sort of move on and put some new people in charge of these positions? >> well, you know, it's very hard to say how this came as it did i. think the lynchpin, the absolutely central point here is the role of attorney general eric holder. we know from the "wall street journal," from fox' own reporting that he knew of the petraeus situation in the late summer, and yet two months go by and there is no indication he tells the president, no indication he does anything except sit on it. if he did sit on it i think that is poe lit sizing the p

what you get is, look we recognize results of an election that elected president obamaly also elected house republican majority unambiguously. the pathway to move forward as the speaker said, mr. president, lead us now but let's not get into this notion the only way that we can do this is by raising taxes on producers and it's not helpful. it doesn't close the budget gap and rather than spending a lot of time and drama on it let's go to where the action is. gregg: there is roughly 20-point differential between what some people pay on capital gains and others on ordinary income which allows private equity and hedge fund operators to pay a whole lot less than a great many other americans. and those guys are making a lot of m money. how can that be justified, congressman? >> look, this whole notion of capital gains and dividend taxes is really inextricably linked to pension funds and the ability of just moms and pops that are out there to have income-producing, small capital investments. gregg: right. >> so this whole notion, this is just for the big guys, forget the big guys. this is ab
